Josh: Talking to my brother about living with our Dad

Welcome!

This is a conversation with my oldest brother, Josh, that followed the one you may have heard published on Father's Day. We talk about how he thinks of aging and the role of his daughter, and more on living with an aging parent (from the male perspective).

It was so unique I figured it should be it's own episode.

You can find out more about Josh at his website.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Hey everyone.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Welcome to this bonus episode of real conversations about aging parents.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I know we usually publish on Wednesdays, but today is my brother's birthday.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And a couple of months ago, he was gracious enough to let me interview

MacBook Air Microphone:

him about living with our dad.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And just for context, this is a continuation of the conversation

MacBook Air Microphone:

that you might have heard that I publish for father's day.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So while we're talking, my dad is actually sitting next to

MacBook Air Microphone:

us and nodding and commenting.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You may not be able to hear all of it, but, um, just for, for context, this

MacBook Air Microphone:

was actually a family conversation.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I want to thank Josh for being a willing to talk on this topic and

MacBook Air Microphone:

wish him an extremely happy birthday.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Thank you so much.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Enjoy.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So how does that look for you?

MacBook Air Microphone:

How do you think about that?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like how do you think about how we as siblings divide the roles

MacBook Air Microphone:

of supporting our crazy parents?

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's an odd I thing to think about at 48 years old it just seems like a foreign

MacBook Air Microphone:

concept, but I only have one daughter.

MacBook Air Microphone:

If I had a son, I, I think I'd want my daughter to do it.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Why is that?

MacBook Air Microphone:

And I, there's no right answer.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Wondering.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah, no, it's, uh, like I wouldn't want my son to see me like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Ah, you know Brianna?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She's seen me at my worst when I went through the divorce and I had

MacBook Air Microphone:

some bad days there, but she was just empathetic and I didn't have.

MacBook Air Microphone:

The same issues that I think I would have in front of my son.

MacBook Air Microphone:

All right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like even in front of my male dogs, I don't do that stuff.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I don't cry cuz they're a male dog.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know what I mean?

MacBook Air Microphone:

I'm just joking, but, so that, I hadn't thought about it like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I I Do you think that might be like, cuz dad's in a hospital gown, right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I don't wanna see him like that , like, I, I don't want to see him sick.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So if I, so when you take dad to the hospital and I

MacBook Air Microphone:

kind of like rumble in Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

With bags of stuff and you're like, okay, I'm, I'm done.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like what's going through your head?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Hmm.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You're like, I'm glad I was here to facilitate.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I'm glad I was there, but I don't like to see him getting older.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's a hard, like I'm watching him age before my eyes.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You've said that over the last few years, many times.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Tell me, tell me what that means.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's just physically I'm watching him kind of, you know, he's getting older.

MacBook Air Microphone:

He has more hair than you I know.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So I still need to get a DNA test one day.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But, um, Yeah, you do.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I don't know, it's just hard to see.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's not hard to see your dad age, but it is, it is difficult to see that he

MacBook Air Microphone:

can't do the stuff that he wants to do.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like he doesn't ride horses anymore.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I know he wants to, but I know that if he throws his leg over

MacBook Air Microphone:

one, his back's gonna probably go out no matter how good he feels.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And then we're gonna have two or three weeks of here limping around.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like he can't hardly do anything.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And it's hard to watch that, watch him go through that, but, but you know.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So I, I try to support it in other ways by making sure the place is taken care of.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And yeah, he can still sort of see life or see all that stuff that I know he

MacBook Air Microphone:

probably wanted to do with his life.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like we all did , like doing all the horse stuff that we do out here, all

MacBook Air Microphone:

the cattle that are out here now.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And, but for me, I, I wouldn't want Brianna to see me like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I mean a, a son to see me like that, Brianna, I.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I, I keep telling her, uh, make sure you have a room for me one day, . Really?

MacBook Air Microphone:

You do.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Now I always tell her that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Are you serious or are you joking?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah, I, I I guess I'm halfway serious.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Tell me about that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Why do you think that My chosen profession isn't in conducive to retirement?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So it's, I do this as long as I physically can, and at that

MacBook Air Microphone:

point, I don't know what I'm gonna really have to live on after that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And so I always tell her, uh, similar to I said, you see how Nana.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It was, it was with Becky, right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's, that's my expectation of you, . And uh, I say it joking, but

MacBook Air Microphone:

I also say it knowing that Brianna's probably gonna be there for me

MacBook Air Microphone:

one day if I really needed her.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Cuz she's always said that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And tell, tell everybody how old is Brianna?

MacBook Air Microphone:

She's 21.

MacBook Air Microphone:

No, she's 22.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Oh, that's right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It is past March 14th.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah, she's 22.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So what does she say when you say that?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Do you, I mean, I, I can't imagine she doesn't like to talk about it.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She doesn't, because that means you'd be older and need help.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She doesn't, she never ever wants to hear me talking about what,

MacBook Air Microphone:

what's gonna happen when I die one day and all that kind of stuff.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She's not ready.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But you're But you're open about that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She's not ready to talk about it at all.

MacBook Air Microphone:

She's, what happens when you talk to her about it?

MacBook Air Microphone:

She gets very upset, very quiet.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like, she tears up, she doesn't wanna talk about it.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Oh.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So that's a, it's a hard thing to bring up with her right now,

MacBook Air Microphone:

cuz she's just starting her life.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Sure.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know, and, um, Hopefully starting a family one day.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Not too soon, not too late, but, you know, so she's not in

MacBook Air Microphone:

that mindset right now to have a conversation like you have with dad.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, so I, I try to, um, manage that or I try to still be her dad

MacBook Air Microphone:

by not bringing it up right now.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Sure, sure.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Knowing that it's going to be there one day.

MacBook Air Microphone:

. Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And hopefully she'll be in a better mind space to talk about it then, but.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, hopefully she doesn't have to worry about it at all, you know, and it's

MacBook Air Microphone:

something that happens one day and it'll be rough like it is for everybody.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But, um, can, can you think of any friends or colleagues or anybody that you're

MacBook Air Microphone:

aware of that has had issues with aging parents or had to change their life or

MacBook Air Microphone:

career or things to, to help with them?

MacBook Air Microphone:

My dad, I had a spouse that got very, very sick.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And I always kind of aligned that to kids that have parents that get very old

MacBook Air Microphone:

or very sick, , I was in the military when the worst of it was happening.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Uh, but I heard the stories and it was awful.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And, uh, you know, he stopped construction and became a nurse and I

MacBook Air Microphone:

mean, there's just so much and, uh, so.

MacBook Air Microphone:

In my own lifetime, you know, my ex-wife had a, a mother who's aging and sick.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And she lives here now, right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

She lives here now.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So she relocated her.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Here she has the means to do that and put her up in a place, and it's

MacBook Air Microphone:

probably gonna move her to Florida with her when she moves to Florida.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, so do you think that there's like, like cultural

MacBook Air Microphone:

variations and what's expected?

MacBook Air Microphone:

No, like, did you feel like having married into a very different culture that No.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You had any say in whether or not you were gonna help take care of

MacBook Air Microphone:

your mother-in-law at that time?

MacBook Air Microphone:

No.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I think it is just all about how you're raised, in my opinion.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

More than anything else.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like the culture thing is just more of a, it's more like a general rule of I, I

MacBook Air Microphone:

think a general rule of past experiences from the vast majority of human beings.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So the vast majority of human beings believe that Hispanic families, for

MacBook Air Microphone:

example, are just more family focused.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, my experience, my family, which is mostly Caucasian, that I know of, pretty

MacBook Air Microphone:

family focused that you know of , right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Well, I married a Puerto Rican, you know, the whole things,

MacBook Air Microphone:

but my daughter is whatever.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But, uh, yeah, I think, I just think it's just a, a matter of how you

MacBook Air Microphone:

were raised more than anything else.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Culturally, it's, it's more of a.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Cop out maybe to just kind of say it like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like, my family has expectations that like we all take care of our Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Aging parents or something like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It happens in every race, color, creed, nationality.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I mean, people, I mean if, gosh, now that you say that, it, it flashes me

MacBook Air Microphone:

back to Saudi Arabia, um, when I was there for those nine months and got

MacBook Air Microphone:

to know some of those families over there and they live generationally.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Inside their big walls.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like they build homes for each successive family that they marry in.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like, but they're all right there.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And nobody, everybody takes care of everybody in that place.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That was pretty neat.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That was, that was different . Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That does not happen here.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know, we all kind of shoot out, we all stay together.

MacBook Air Microphone:

We all tethered to some stake in the ground.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And this place right here is probably that stake in the

MacBook Air Microphone:

ground for most of our family.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You can go as far as you want, but eventually that line snaps.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And you either stop or you cut the line and then you go on with your life.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But pretty much everybody comes back out and stays in contact and

MacBook Air Microphone:

that kind of stuff, which is good.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, but that, that fam those families over there, that was unique.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So culturally I'd have to kind of amend that to think that there probably

MacBook Air Microphone:

are some that are, have more of an expectation, like strong traditions

MacBook Air Microphone:

and traditions and expectations drive more of what families do.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Uh, we're here in our, our experiences.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's primarily just about how you were raised more than anything else.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So we got a little bit of both, you know, with Papa being kind

MacBook Air Microphone:

of how he was versus granddad.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I mean, the two completely different grandfathers.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Even Grandpa Ray, you know, we had, I had, he had one grandfather growing up.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I didn't know that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, I may have known that, but I had three.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Growing up, right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

And all three were completely different people, human beings.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And, uh, you, you know, you knew who you were kind of drawn to and who you weren't.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So can you think of anything else about living with a aging parent?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Cuz you actually are living with an aging parent?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I, if I come in here and I see he's asleep, I usually just watch and make sure

MacBook Air Microphone:

he is breathing . That's a real thing.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like there's a seriously, seriously, sometimes I walk in around noon or say,

MacBook Air Microphone:

Hey, Cow died or something, whatever I'm gonna tell him and I walk in there and,

MacBook Air Microphone:

and, uh, he's not in the office cuz he is either in the office or he is in here.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's all he ever does anymore.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And, uh, um, if he's not in the office, I look in the bedroom and then he is usually

MacBook Air Microphone:

laying down and I just, I'll just kind of stare for a second and just make sure, I

MacBook Air Microphone:

just see him breathing and I'll say, all right, then I'll just kind of walk away.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, did you hear this?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Mm-hmm.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But I am, I, I know it's probably gonna happen similar to what

MacBook Air Microphone:

you're gonna go through with nana one morning or one evening.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's just gonna happen and I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen out here.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, sounds like that's what he wants.

MacBook Air Microphone:

That's what not, that's why I don't think I'm gonna, yeah, it's gonna hurt.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's gonna be tough to see it, but I'm also gonna be happy,

MacBook Air Microphone:

like his dad died on a bulldozer.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Which, I don't know if he necessarily wanted to die on a bulldozer.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yes, he did.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But he died doing what he loved doing.

MacBook Air Microphone:

He said that many times, you know, and then I'm gonna

MacBook Air Microphone:

probably follow in his footsteps.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I don't really, I don't wanna end up having to go someplace else.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So something that, that barn I've always admired about you is you are very

MacBook Air Microphone:

comfortable talking about taboo topics, and you've even done some sort of study

MacBook Air Microphone:

on your own of maybe stoicism or zen or things of like, Thinking of life as,

MacBook Air Microphone:

as being very finite already, or, and I think you even told me once, correct me

MacBook Air Microphone:

if I'm wrong, that you've done some mental exercises of people that you care about

MacBook Air Microphone:

dying and then like going through that in your head and then re realizing they're

MacBook Air Microphone:

still alive and like, tell me about that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

What does that do for you or how does that look?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Uh, it's progressed over the years.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, I certainly wasn't like that at 20 years old.

MacBook Air Microphone:

. Um, but seeing like mass graves, seeing the death like slow down in Melvich and

MacBook Air Microphone:

Croatia especially, um, seeing that, that the kind of devastation that can

MacBook Air Microphone:

happen, what human beings are able to inflict on each other, um, when you

MacBook Air Microphone:

whittle it down, uh, to just the moment and the people that are in your life,

MacBook Air Microphone:

then it's, it's a lot easier to, um, start to think about those things.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Uh, compared to what the vast majority of humans who have ever

MacBook Air Microphone:

lived have to go through, right?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

We're United States.

MacBook Air Microphone:

We're what I mean, when you think of every human being that ever lived from

MacBook Air Microphone:

the beginning of time, what they've all, what the vast majority of people

MacBook Air Microphone:

have had to deal with is, I mean, we're living very nice, very nice lives,

MacBook Air Microphone:

you know, and I'm very aware of that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And if you have that perspective of seeing the rest of the world,

MacBook Air Microphone:

which most Americans don't, right.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You can kind of have, you can ha be more comfortable in that sort of

MacBook Air Microphone:

situation of talking about it and, and just accepting that, hey, it's, it

MacBook Air Microphone:

is what it is and it's gonna happen.

MacBook Air Microphone:

. Anything else you can think of that you think would be important?

MacBook Air Microphone:

The general topic of aging parents?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, just be patient.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I get, I get frustrated sometimes, uh, when I feel like I.

MacBook Air Microphone:

He's getting too old, too fast.

MacBook Air Microphone:

not, I don't think any Who You frustrated with him?

MacBook Air Microphone:

? Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I wish he was younger.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know, I wish he could do more things, but, um, I try

MacBook Air Microphone:

to encourage him to be active.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like he's really good at, still excellent at fixing things, like mechanically

MacBook Air Microphone:

just figuring out whatever's going on with a tractor, whatever, you know.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So I always, even if I think I can, might be able to figure something out,

MacBook Air Microphone:

I'll just leave it out there for a while and just keep saying, Hey, go on.

MacBook Air Microphone:

If you wanna help, go fix that this weekend.

MacBook Air Microphone:

You know, and just get him, get him to do something.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, but that's what, uh, but it's just like that sort of soft

MacBook Air Microphone:

encouragement of not trying to push him to do too much anymore.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, but keep him as active as he can be.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So he said that you're basically living out a dream that he had

MacBook Air Microphone:

to build a horse ranch here.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Do, are you doing this in parallel or do you putting that on your shoulders?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Do you even think about that?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like, do you feel like this is separate?

MacBook Air Microphone:

Like, oh I happen to build the one thing you were dreaming about for decades?

MacBook Air Microphone:

No, it helps dealing with the guilt of feeling like I'm, um, I'm not like,

MacBook Air Microphone:

financially I couldn't do it on my own.

MacBook Air Microphone:

My dad's 70 years old and he's still working.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So there's always the guilt of feeling like, oh my God, is he,

MacBook Air Microphone:

is he only working so we can keep trying to do this thing out here?

MacBook Air Microphone:

I don't think so.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Cause I.

MacBook Air Microphone:

For the most part, I do everything on, all that stuff on my own.

MacBook Air Microphone:

But, um, but you don't like wake up every day saying, I've gotta

MacBook Air Microphone:

live this dream for dad and No.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I hope he do not.

MacBook Air Microphone:

No.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Okay.

MacBook Air Microphone:

No, I mean, I, I grew up wanting to be John Wayne and Rambo.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I spent six years being Rambo, and now I'm getting to be John Wayne.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So, uh, no, it's, I, I, I used to work for a company called h e b.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Good company.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Really enjoyed it.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Uh, a bad situation arose up and I lost my job.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I didn't do anything illegal, , but I, I, I lost my job.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, I think, I still believe it was just a, an unfortunate situation.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Came down to a few managers dealing with a bad situation

MacBook Air Microphone:

and I ended up getting fired.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, and I just remember I talked to him one day and it wasn't like I was

MacBook Air Microphone:

asking his permission or anything, but I said, I don't, I don't think

MacBook Air Microphone:

I'm gonna go look for another job.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I think I'm just gonna start.

MacBook Air Microphone:

I'll take anybody who wants to learn horse, you know, that kind of thing.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And then we just kind of started off with that and then, and you know, I'm two years

MacBook Air Microphone:

into it and almost, and still kicking.

MacBook Air Microphone:

So, um, I know he enjoys it and I know he puts a lot into this, like

MacBook Air Microphone:

every once in a while come out there.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Just recently he bought a whole bunch of new 150 gallon water.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Water buckets.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, and those are, they're expensive.

MacBook Air Microphone:

They're great to have, but I think 140 bucks a pop, you know?

MacBook Air Microphone:

And he bought a bunch of like eight or nine, I don't know, 6,

MacBook Air Microphone:

7, 8 of 'em, something like that.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Put 'em in all the horse stalls out there.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And he does stuff like that every once in a while.

MacBook Air Microphone:

And I know he's doing it for the thing, but he's also doing it cuz

MacBook Air Microphone:

it just means something to him.

MacBook Air Microphone:

He likes to just go out there and just see the horses sticking their heads out of

MacBook Air Microphone:

the stalls when you walk down the aisle.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's a neat feeling.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Yeah, just, uh, just don't take it for granted and just be thankful that

MacBook Air Microphone:

you have the opportunity to do it and, uh, have your dad participate in it.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Um, it's a good thing.

MacBook Air Microphone:

It's a good thing.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Just don't get too high and don't get too low.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Just try to stay even keel as best you can.

MacBook Air Microphone:

. Awesome.

MacBook Air Microphone:

Well, thank you.

MacBook Air Microphone:
